Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambre Vanille EDP
This revamped favourite is a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, subtle gourmand, while others are gutted it's not a patch on the original. Expect a gentle, clean sweetness, but don't hold your breath for beast-mode performance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Yara EDP
A fluffy cloud of sweet powder and creamy vanilla, Yara is unapologetically girly and comforting, with a gentle tropical twist. Ideal for those who crave playful, easy-to-love fragrances at a budget price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ambre Vanille

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its gentle sillage and clean, inoffensive profile make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual wear. However, its understated nature means it won't shine for formal events or demanding physical activity.

Yara

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Sweet vanilla, powdery florals and creamy musk feel right across spring, fall and milder winter days. The richness can turn cloying in peak summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Soft projection and approachable sweetness suit casual daytime and date wear best. The signature is a touch sugary for boardroom formality and far too sweet for sport.
